I'm assuming that these people would prefer to go back to dialup or dsl?
I'm pretty sure they would prefer to have something other than a monopoly broadband provider that has decided on a half-ass solution to advanced broadband that saves the company money and results in refrigerator-size boxes on their front lawns.

Is ATT's VDSL better than dial-up? you betcha. Do the customers that have no other choice have to like the way it's implemented? absolutely not.

I've seen a lot of VRADs in San José, California. I can't say that I have seen any on front lawns. I can say that every VRAD I have seen is adjacent to a cross-connect box. Are you saying that the same communities which allowed the telco to install a cross-connect box on a front lawn is having second thoughts, when a second box is added to that location?
